Pablo Picasso and Clouzot. The making of "La plage à la Garoupe I" for the film "Le mystère Picasso". Nice, Studios de la Victorine, 1955.

At the Studios de la Victorine in Nice, Pablo Picasso works on the painting "La plage à la Garoupe I" in 1955. Seen in profile, his arm is extended as he applies a brush to the complex canvas of stylized figures. Standing just behind him, director Henri-Georges Clouzot watches intently as the scene is filmed for his documentary, "Le mystère Picasso". In the foreground, a work table with a can and a palette of paints contributes to the candid atmosphere of a working studio.
